Breakfast Paddle on the Ortega River

Date:

Sat, 07/22/2017 - 8:00am to 11:00am

North Florida Land Trust is hosting a breakfast paddle along the Ortega River on July 22 from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. to give participants a chance to see the unique landscapes and wildlife that inhabit the area. Kayakers will take off from the Ringhaver Park kayak launch for a ride on the river and return to a delicious, organic breakfast provided by Native Sun. Those interested in participating in the launch are asked to sign up online at http://bit.ly/2tV5PGo. If you need to rent a kayak, it is $35 for a single or $70 for a tandem kayak. If you bring your own kayak, the paddle is free, but you must still register for the event due to a limited group size. Contact Genevieve Fletcher at gfletcher@northfloridalandtrust.org for more information.

Ringhaver Park is located at 5198 118th Street, Jacksonville, FL, 32244. Snacks and coffee will be served at 8 a.m. and the paddle should conclude by 11 a.m. at Ringhaver Park where breakfast will be offered. NFLT recommends closed-toe shoes or sturdy sandals, light and comfortable clothing, a hat, sunscreen and bug spray. Please bring a reusable water bottle. Water refills will be provided.
